[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great that some of you get don’t ask don’t tell. My boss asks and forces annual leave. Same with snow days. And I can’t make up the hours on other days even though I’m technically on maxiflex. My boss told me to take it up with whoever wrote the rules. [/quote]

Whoever wrote the rules needs to understand the rules don’t apply anymore. This is not a typical situation. I’m sorry your boss sucks.[/quote]

OPM has new rules that permit teleworking w/ a dependent home, [b]tracking hours actually worked and taking leave as needed[/b]. [/quote]

I can’t even imagine what this will look like with a 2 and 4 y/o. Well I worked for 25 min. while they watched a show. Then I had to stop for 5 min. to get snacks. And then I worked for another 8 min., but had to take a break to wipe my 4 y/o’s butt. And then I wrote half an email, but my 2 y/o decided to start climbing the furniture so I had to stop and get him down. Then I finished my email, but my kids started fighting and had to be separated.

I mean, how is this even feasible. Maybe for a day or two, but weeks on end??[/quote]

All that you have to do is make a "good faith assessment" that you worked 8 hours or that you got all of your work done per my bureau's policy.[/quote]

When they go to sleep, work from 8pm- midnight. Work during their 2 hour nap. And then find another 2 hours when they're busy watching Frozen 2 for the 50th time. [/quote]

NP- my kids are of similar age but the oldest doesn't nap anymore.  So I could stick her in front of the TV while the youngest naps and hopefully get a solid 1.5-2 hrs in, but otherwise I'd be putting in my hours after they go to bed at 7:30pm.  She'll barely sit through an entire movie as it is, particularly with the nice weather we've been having.

I mean, I'm lucky if I can prep a meal during naptime on the weekends.  I just don't get that much done while caring for a toddler and a preschooler.  Maybe I'm just incompetent?![/quote]
